Sawyer?
I am a part of a Lost multi-fandom roleplay over at Insane Journal and as far as I know there is no Sawyer, I have sent an email to the mod asking if anyone had been interested...but in the mean time I will tell you about my character. She is Australian, 22 years old and her name is Jordan Shephard... To read about her history, click the cut....
JORDAN’S HISTORY
Jordan Shephard was born on 30 April 1985 to her mother, Claudia, who was a nurse. There was no father stated on her birth certificate. Jordan’s childhood was a pretty simple one; she lived with her mother and uncle in a small country town. She excelled in most of her school subjects but one of her main passions was dancing. She started dancing when she was three and had always wanted to be on the spotlight. When it was her 21st birthday a letter arrived addressed for her and her eyes only. When she opened it her whole world changed. It was a letter from her father. The father she never knew had existed. In the letter he told her that he was a Doctor and met her mother while on a business trip to Sydney a year before she was born. In the letter Dr Christian Shephard explained he would be in Australia again and hoped to meet his “only daughter”, he had been longing to see. She confronted her mother but Claudia straight out told her daughter not to go near the man who is calling himself her father “He is bad news” She would always tell Jordan. For most of her life she had felt like an outsider, she only felt like she belonged when she was on stage, dancing. Most of her dance friends had a close bond with their fathers and would always talk about the different places around the world they would go together. Almost one year later when it was a special performance show for Jordan, she received flowers and a note. Her father was in the audience and couldn’t wait to meet her. Jordan’s mother had always been called out to emergencies; that she would miss half of her daughter’s performances- not on purpose of course. So a thrill went off inside of Jordan to finally have a family member there in the audience watching her. She could not wait to meet her father. And she did. They had dinner that night, unbeknown to her mother and Christian told her his side of the story, why he couldn’t stay with her mother. Christian also told Jordan that he has a son. She had a half-brother in the U.S, who was also a doctor. This had Jordan excited, especially learning that he was older. For as long as she could remember, Jordan had always wanted an older sibling- she finally had one. As their night came to an end, Christian promised his daughter that he would stay in contact- he never did.
As the news sunk in Jordan become more and more anxious to meet her half-brother. To her, he sounded perfect. She finally got the courage to tell her mother that she was going to the US and meet him. “No way in hell” was her mother’s exact words. Claudia knew damn straight that her daughter should not have anything to do with the Shephard family as they were bad news. No matter how much Jordan had wanted another sibling- which Claudia knew all along. She barred her daughter from getting a passport.
When her mother refused to let her go, Jordan had had enough; she was sick of the secrets and sick of her mother not liking the idea of Jordan having a brother. The arguments continued well into the night, one night and Jordan walked out. She didn’t care, screw it, she thought. She ended up in the local bar to drown her sorrows.
That’s when she came across a stranger, a man who only went by the name of Sawyer. They become drinking partners and spent most of their time in the bar together. They let each other know a few secrets. Sawyer needed particular items; Jordan revealed that her mother was a nurse so she could easily get them. Sawyer was interested but then Jordan came up with conditions after finding out that Sawyer was from the US. She told him she wanted to get her mother off her back and get to the US to meet Jack. Sawyer was reluctant at first but he was a desperate man so he made the deal. After Jordan gave Sawyer what was on his list, he helped her book a flight to the US. Although they were on the same flight they made a pact not to talk or meet each other again. That’s when they boarded the doomed Oceanic Flight....
